The Green Party is stronger on environmental issues than either the Republicans or the Democrats. We recognize that the global warming crisis necessitates rapid action in areas such as renewable energy and fuel efficiency.

Green politics is vibrant in countries all around the world because the Green parties have a unique perspective on the issues confronting humanity at this critical juncture. Central to our program is the idea of renewing local community life. Big Business and Big Government both drain resources from local economies. Greens advocate community-based economics and a grassroots form of democracy.
